Testimonials:

"We wanted to take a minute to tell you what a great job our Loan Officer Chris Ballard did during our refinance process.  Chris was very professional and always quick to respond to our several emails and many questions.  We explained to Chris at the beginning of the process what we wanted to achieve out of the refinance and he made it happen. My wife and I have been through several purchases and refinances and never had one go as smooth as this one. We will recommend anyone we know looking to purchase or refinance to Northwest Federal Credit Union and Chris Ballard." - Brian B.

"I just want to take a minute to express my gratitude working with Mr. Ballard during the recent purchase of my home. He was personable, professional and so easy to work with. This is my third home purchase, and I don't remember any of them being this effortless. I have belonged to the CU for many years and have never had a bad experience. You all deserve a high five for your excellent service. And a special pat on the back and several high fives to Mr. Ballard for his much appreciated assistance during my recent loan acquisition and home purchase." Mary H.

"Why was he great:
- He was extremely knowledgeable with regards to the products and process.
- He showed great attention to detail with regards to ensuring all the appropriate docs was in timely.
- He held me accountable for my piece of the work.
- He made suggestions based on my in depth conversation with him as oppose to trying to sell me the company's product.
The end result was we moved over all our accounts from Capital One to NWFCU, we are closing on our home today and we owe a big thank you to Chris.  If more mortgage professionals were like him this very stressful process would be a breeze.  For my husband and I this was such a easy process and this was due to Chris' efforts." -Jessica D.

"Just want to say thank you very much Chris for being patient and inputting all the figures and properties. If there is a review or something you want me to fill out please let me know you get 5 stars from me."  -Stephen S.

"Thanks again for all your hard work and assistance with this process.  You definitely went above and beyond. Btw, your estimates for our closing costs and the amount that we should send via wire were dead on target." -Ron S.
